SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 541,012, dated June 11,1895.

Application filed March 11, 1395. Serial No. 541,354. (NomodeL) ingdrawings, which form a part of this speci-' fication, and in whichFigure 1 is a perspective view of my improved device or appliance forheating shoemakers tools, showing it applied to a gas-jet as when inuse. Fig. 2 is an end or edge elevation of the same complete, butremoved from the gas-burner. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the holderwhich forms part of my device, s'howingit removed from the gasburner andwith the other parts of the 'device detached and removed; and Fig. at isa perspective view of the detachable top part or platform, showing moreparticularly the construction of the spring clamps and catches forfastening the platform removably upon its upright standard or support.Like letters of reference designate corre sponding parts in all thefigures.

My invention has relation to appliances or devices for heating theburnishers and other tools, used by shoemakers, over an ordinarygas-jet; and it consists in the detailed construction and combination ofthe component parts of a device of that type, as will be hereinaftermore fully described and claimed.

On the accompanying drawings, the refer- 0 ence-letter A denotes agas-burner of theordinary construction and arrangement. Upon this burneris placed my reversible holder B, which is preferably cast of brass,iron, or other suitable metal, and consists of two ver- 4 5 tical andparallel bars I) b, connected by diagonal arms a c and a center piece d,cast with loops, at, a, a, which are bent or deflected in alternatelyopposite directions, (see Fig. 2,) to enable it to fit, removably, uponthe stem of the burner A by passing around opposite sides of the same.

Each of the parallel sidebars b b of the reversible holder B has aseries of three or I more notches e, on its inner side, adapted toengage or interlock with spring-hooks,ff, at the lower end of the twoparallel limbs of the upright or standard F. These consist simply of apiece of wire of suitable thickness, which is first bent to form a V, asshown at F, and then again 'bent at right angles, with the lower ends ofthe two parallel limbs thus formed doubled upon themselves in oppositedirections to form the spring-hooksff, which, as we have seen, engagethe notches e in holder B.

The third part of my improved appliance consists of the platformortool-holder proper,

O, which is also of wire, bent into the shape of a Greek cross, in theangle between two of the arms of which the wire is bent to form aspring-lip D, adapted to engage the apex of the \l-shaped fiat top F ofthe wire standard F; while the free ends or terminals of the wireforming the cross 0 are bent, underneath the cross-shaped platform, toform spring-hooks E, E, adapted to engage the bent corners of theV-sh'aped top F, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The tools to be heated areplaced upon this wire platform (J, with their handles pointing outwardand their inner 8o ends overlapping the V-shaped top F of thewire-upright-or standard, so as to be immediately above and subjected tothe direct heat of the gas-jet which issues from the burner.

By having several notches e in each of the side-bars b b of the holderB, the wire-standard F, and with it its superimposed platform 0, may beraised or lowered by shifting the hooksffrom one set of notches toanother,

so as to bring the tools to be heated nearer to or farther from theflame, as may be desired; and when the device is not in use, it maybereversed, or placed upside down, and the holder B, with or without itsattachments, may be placed in a reversed position upon 5 the burner A,so as to be out of the way and yet within easy and convenient reach whenrequired for use.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent IOO of the United States-The herein-described removable and adjust-able heatingettaohment togas-burners, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as comprising thereversible notched holder B, my own I have hereunto aifixed my signaturein combination with the hooked and adjustin presence of two witnesses.
